I think I've mentioned the time-altering properties of danger on here before, perhaps in the catastrophe thread. Time seems to slow to a crawl once you realise the ball you've just booted's heading right for the neighbour's window or that car's about to plough into yours.

I tried to tap into that in the Trouble, Petty to Grande thread, but it didn't take. Granted it was likely incoherent, seeing as I wrote it high.
Yeah its like observation becomes more important in certain situations, and this heightening is felt as a kind of trauma, even a sort of petty trauma.

Yeah Time Machines is nuts innit. It's the only genuinely psychoactive music I've heard. Not just kinda reminiscent of doing drugs but EXACTLY like doing drugs. Sends me flat on my back hardly able to move, the air feeling thick and syrupy, vision getting frayed around the edges
And it does work as intended to, I find. The temporal slips are there.

"Here in West Yorkshire space and time are dimensional parameters often connected and casually used in currency as if their relational values are known in stature and phase. We think that the stresses may be radically wrongfully understood. We suspect that a disproportionate value is placed upon TIME as a commodity. It's amazing that more people do not realize how tenuous it is. Time is a funny fellow to be sure, and is only one way of understanding space. Smell & Quim are interested by concepts of describing, understanding, prescribing and utilizing space by means other than by time, and therefore transcending the concept of measurement and dimension. This is hard for humans to picture, being furnished culturally with armchairs and wallpaper designed by cyclic/linear modes, so our strategies may seem difficult or off-kilter at times. Drugs may help the newcomer to grasp our output, but we strongly suggest intercourse with aliens or skinny women with big tits or striking cleavage."

There must be a lot more time than we're aware of for the most part. It's a matter of naturally lapsing into distraction. When you're forced to notice time (when you want an hour to be over, when you're exercising say) you suddenly realise how long a fucking minute is.

Conversation is a big one, it sheds the hours. Read this the other day
which at first thought might make you think conversation would extend time, but the experience of conversation is contrary. and the familiar, time shrunk return trip- comfortable in your surroundings so you typically 'talk' to yourself. The extension of time when bored, 'bored' could be a state of having nothing to sustain dialogue with.
